The effects of zooprophylaxis and other mosquito control measures against malaria in Nouna, Burkina Faso
Abstract Background In the absence of large scale, organized vector control programmes, individual protective measures against mosquitoes are essential for reducing the transmission of diseases like malaria. Knowledge of the types and effectiveness of mosquito control methods used by households can...
